Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Nesting behavior, egg morphology, and breeding biology of Harwood’s Spurfowl ( Pternistis harwoodi ) in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

Journal of Field Ornithology
This study aims to understand the life history of the endemic Harwood’s Spurfowl ( Pternistis harwoodi ) including reproductive, behavioral, and spatio-temporal variability of traits for the first time in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia.

Scorpionfish rapidly change colour in response to their background

Frontiers in Zoology, 2023
Background To facilitate background matching in heterogenous environments, some animals rapidly change body colouration. Marine predatory fishes might use this ability to hide from predators and prey. Here, we focus on scorpionfishes (Scorpaenidae), well-

Game-matching background music has an add-on effect for reducing emotionality of traumatic memories during reconsolidation intervention

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
IntroductionHospital is a stressful place of employment, and a high proportion of healthcare workers, especially the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) nurses were found to be at risk of PTSD.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals

Ecology and Evolution
Gloger's rule states that homeotherms are darker at lower latitudes; however, a number of 19th‐century naturalists also suggested that animals are more brightly coloured in the tropics than in temperate regions. Using phylogenetic comparative methods, we

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Camouflage Using Surface Disruption: The Importance of Corners Versus Edges

Ecology and Evolution
Disruptive colouration is a common mode of camouflage used by predators and prey to conceal their body contours. However, it is unclear how disruptive colouration hinders the detection and recognition of three‐dimensional (3D) body shapes.

Subtype‐specific enhancer RNAs define transcriptional regulators and prognosis in breast cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study employed machine learning methodologies to perform the subtype‐specific classification of RNA‐seq data sets, which are mapped on enhancers from TCGA‐derived breast cancer patients. Their integration with gene expression (referred to as ProxCReAM eRNAs) and chromatin accessibility profiles has the potential to identify lineage‐specific and ...

The Geographical Variation of Colour Change in the Arabian Killifish (Aphaniops dispar Sensu Lato) From Freshwater and Marine Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution
Widely distributed animals may exhibit substantial plastic physiological, morphological and behavioural responses to environmental changes. One such extraordinary form of plasticity is colour change, which varies substantially among most taxonomic groups.
